| Obverse description | Obverse of irregular flan exhibiting only faint vestiges of design, typically presenting a weak circular motif of uncertain character; traces of a boar figure are occasionally discernible amid the otherwise largely blank field, consistent with the highly abstract Celtic artistic tradition of the Corieltauvian series. |

| Reverse description | A stylized, Celticized horse rendered in a highly abstract Iron Age idiom, advancing to the right with a distinctive triangular head; a pellet rosette ornament occupies the field above the horse's back, while a single pellet appears beneath the tail. The design is characteristic of the later Corieltauvian coinage, reflecting a progressive geometric abstraction of earlier Gallo-Belgic prototypes. |
